  1. I'm in the middle of reading Sean Sweeney's Model Agent. I haven't really received books during the month of December, but I've gotten quite a few over the past year. Probably enough to last me the rest of my life, really.

  2. I received SHATTER ME from my lovely critique partner on my birthday, which was Dec. 11th, so very close to the holidays. I also bought UNTRACEABLE as a stocking stuffer for myself. I plan to start one of the two next week when I'm done with my current read: PAPER TOWNS.

  3. I received the Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan and a few different books by Cassandra Clare. I've been reading a lot of e-books lately so I'm excited for some new hardcovers!

  6. I've completed The Clockwork Giant (loved it) and got The Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. Right now, I'm getting deep into Become by Ali Cross.

  8. I received The Ugly Truth by Jeff Kinney (you know me, still into the Wimpy Kid), Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling, and The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler. <---Fantastic book. It's about a girl who gets onto her own Facebook in 1996, and trying to change/come to terms with her future. It's a good read, little cliche, but I'm also pretty cynical.

  9. This Christmas, I received a book on the topic of dreams, lucid dreaming, and dream sharing (and, no it is not written by Christopher Nolan :) anyways, it goes about explaining dream theories that major philosophers of our earlier days had asserted. Such philosophers as Aristotle, and Plato.

  10. I received quite a few, actually. I received Stephen King's new book 11/22/63 as well as his last new release UNDER THE DOME. I also received Jay Asher's 13 REASONS WHY, and Patton Oswalt's ZOMBIE SPACESHIP WASTELAND. Love me some Patton Oswalt. He may be my favorite comedian ever. One of my friends back home got me THE STRANGE CASE OF ORIGAMI YODA by Tom Angleberger. I also found Eoin Colfer's contribution to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series AND ANOTHER THING on the super duper marked down bargain wrack and bought that for myself, if that counts.

  12. I read Novel Blogging - a new ebook by Liberty Montano. Really excellent book on blogging/marketing for writers.

  13. I actually managed to read some books during the Christmas break, hooray! Most were YA titles (The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff and Possession by Elana Johnson), and a classic fantasy by Diana Wynne Jones...erm, it had 3 stories in it but I forgot the title of the book! *brain on holiday*

    Btw, congrats on your launch of your debut, The Clockwork Giant! (sorry for the late greeting--was on blogging hiatus). And thanks for the giveaway!
